My Secret Billionaire Husband
Chapter 1237 - 1234: You’ll come over tonight, right?

Chapter 1237: Chapter 1234: You’ll come over tonight, right?

She graciously refused: I’m sorry, Madam White. I already have a lunch appointment, can we reschedule?

Madam White: You have someone to meet at noon? I was going to ask you what you like to eat and cook it for you. Seems like I won’t have that chance today.

It isn’t hard to detect some sense of loss in Madam White’s words.

Joanna immediately felt a pang of guilt and quickly sent another message explaining: Ashton and I are going to see my younger brother at noon, and we probably won’t have anything else to do in the evening. If I have time in the evening, and if Madam White doesn’t mind my bothering you, I’ll come and see you. How about that?

This time, Madam White replied quickly: Of course, you are always welcome. If you decide to come, let me know in advance, and I will personally cook dinner for both of you!

Madam White, who sounded disappointed just a moment ago, suddenly became happy again.

She sent out several messages in rapid succession

First asking Joanna what she likes to eat, then asking what Ashton prefers.

Joanna talked with her for more than an hour.

When it was almost time, she took a car to Ashton’s company to wait for him to finish work so they could go together to see Jeremy.

When she arrived, Ashton was still busy.

Joanna didn’t want to disturb him, so she asked his secretary to make her a cup of coffee and sat on the couch playing with her phone while waiting for him to finish.

Joanna was scrolling through Twitter Moments.

Seeing that there was a new update, she clicked on it.

The people she had added on Twitter weren’t many, mostly work-related acquaintances, and the updates in the Moments were mostly related to their circle.

So Madam White’s tweet stood out as being rather different.

Madam White posted a set of photos, of her watering flowers in the garden.

There was also a fat orange cat in the photos, leisurely lounging on a tree branch, looking aloofly at Madam White watering flowers beneath the tree.

Joanna found the chubby orange cat simply adorable at first sight.

She liked Madam White’s tweet and commented: Hahaha, sure enough, the fat orange cat steals the show. It’s so fat it doesn’t even have a neck. So cute.

Madam White, who was likely on her phone, quickly replied: Joanna, do you like this cat? It’s a stray cat around here, I named it Orange. Orange is very cute, come over earlier this evening and I will show you Orange.

Joanna replied with an okay.

After a while, Joanna noticed that Madam White had updated her Moments again.

Perhaps it was because Joanna had commented that the cat was cute.

This time, Madam White uploaded a set of nine pictures of the orange cat on a tic-tac-toe board.

All the pictures were of Orange from different angles and positions; the camera was so close it was almost touching the cat’s face.

After posting the pictures, Madam White sent her a private message: Joanna, isn’t Orange just adorable? Trust me, it’s even cuter in person than in these pictures. This cat is a bit wild, sometimes it runs off and doesn’t show up for days, so I had someone catch it just now. By the time you come, you will be able to see it.

Madam White, as if she’s afraid Joanna won’t come over in the evening, quickly sent another message: Joanna, you will come tonight, right?

Now Joanna understood.

Madam White was probably afraid that Joanna wouldn’t come in the evening, so when she discovered Joanna’s fondness for cats, she posted pictures of Orange to entice her.
